Telangana Cyber Security Bureau Director Shikha Goyal said the accused is being produced before a local magistrate in Bengaluru for a transit warrant.
The officer said efforts are on to nab the remaining accused.
Praneeth, 29, a native of Andhra Pradesh and resident of Hyderabad, is the main accused in the FIR lodged by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau on July 7 under sections 67B of the Information Technology Act, section 294 of the Indian Penal Code, section 79 of the BNS. Section 13(c) of the POCSO Act.
Accusations are being leveled against him since the day the matter came to light. The case involves a group of individuals engaging in obscene and vulgar conversations about a father-daughter relationship on a YouTube podcast, the director said.
The FIR was lodged after Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka promised action after actor Sai Dharam Tej filed an online complaint of child abuse.
Sai Dharma Tej took to 'X' to express outrage and tagged the Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of both the Telugu states to demand necessary action to prevent such horrific acts in future.
“This is extremely disgusting, disgusting and horrifying. Such monsters go unnoticed on a highly used social platform that abuses children in the guise of so-called fun and dank. Child safety is the need of the hour,'' she wrote while sharing a video of a Telugu YouTuber making inappropriate comments on a video featuring a father and his daughter.
